Trends on Active Learning Methods and Emerging Learning Technologies

Abstract

Education 4.0 is a model to meet the demands of Industry 4.0. This is achieved by developing competencies during the learning process that will later be used in Industry 4.0. The structural model proposed in this work has four components: Cloud Computing infrastructures (applied in the COVID-19 confinement period), active hybrid methodologies (applicable in face-to-face, online, and blended learning mode), technologies (through a technological ecosystem), and horizontal 4.0 competencies. One of the main factors differentiating industrial innovation from educational innovation in teaching is its scope. While the scope of industrial innovation is global (market sector), that of educational innovation in teaching is local (in the subject itself). This approach has several effects on educational innovation in teaching compared to industrial innovation: there is a great deal of repetition of experiences, the advances are not immediately incorporated into other educational contexts, and the impact is local. This paper analyzes evidence to rethink the scope of educational innovation in teaching, developing it under a global vision but applying it locally. The study was carried out utilizing a survey of teachers from different educational levels (university and non-university) and different countries. They were asked about the impact of student inactivity on learning and the indicators that, in their opinion, allow measuring the success of educational innovation to promote active learning. The responses indicate that the education sector has a shared vision of the impact of inactivity on learning and of the measurement indicators. The conclusion is that innovation applied to a specific academic subject can be approached globally across the entire education sector.
